Praelum Wine Bistro

Great service, ambience and wine! Owner wasn’t around but was most accommodating! Somms were very knowledgeable and sociable too! Would love to come back to this place, thanks!

There were smoking tables outside - however the doors weren’t closed. Hence my friends and I smelt like smoke when we left the place. Would be good if the door could be kept closed

Communicative staff that really know their stuff, attentive owner and beautiful bar setting. Enjoyable experience!

Wonderful experience at Praelum with a comprehensive wine selection. The sommelier was very helpful and his picks were sublime. Food was also very nice and were an excellent companion to the wines.

great wine selection , and nice bistro menu , reasonable price . staffs have a lot of knowledge of wine , they choose some wine for guest

Gerard was awesome in his customer service - lots of stories about wineries and he definitely knows his wines! All his recommendations were spot-on! He remembers us and our preferences as well. Food is delicious at Praelum too!

Great food and wine. Great sommelier who went to length to explain and recommend pairing for us. Awesome place for a quiet gathering with friends.

Small cozy restaurant with a good selection of wine. Food selection could be better though. Prices reasonable if you are using the Amex Platinum Credit Card for discount.

Nice little cozy restaurant located amongst the Tanjong Pagar shophouses with a good selection of wines albeit the limited dining menu. Staffs gives good recommendations on wine.

Came here with 2 other friends and overall the experience was great! The service staff were pleasant and attentive. The menu was pretty good for sharing and the wine selection and recommendation was awesome.

The place is quite nice and the food is good. However, because the place was quite crowded, we had to wait about one and a half hours for our food to be served. Even the complimentary bread took more than half an hour to arrive. So be prepared to wait if you're there when it's crowded.

Very knowledgeable sommeliers who can tell you all you need to know about the wines and have a good knowledge of the wine regions. The food and wine was perfect for an evening catching up with friend 👌🏻

Good wine selection and plates to share. Staff was very polite and friendly. We enjoyed the evening at Praelum and would recommend it to our friends who like good wine.

The food is great. Good and prompt service. The wine selection is awesome. However the space is too cram n tight. N it's a bit noisy.

Good food and wine, with excellent service. Staff knows their wines! Recommend the flight of 5 wines to taste a range of their bottles. Come earlier around 6 or 7 to avoid the noise crowds on weekends

This is a good wine place. Staff has extensive wine knowledge, just let them know what wine you wan in what price range, they can provide you a good options.

Very nice wines, food was great but small portion. Staffs were kind friendly. Nice and quiet place for gathering. It was good choice for farewell.

Good food but took a long time to arrive given it was Friday evening "peak hour". Quantity should be increased a little. Good wines by the glass but on expensive side

Celebrated my mum's birthday at Praelum Wine Bistro. The service & food was great. Huge selection of wine available. Overall a enjoyable experience that evening.

Nice place with convenient location. Good selection of wines though we didnt try much of the food. Very friendly staff, good service. Definitely would recommend to friends.

Great place to learn more about wine. The Sommelier Gerald is very knowledgeable and charismatic, he'll bring you through the history and story of each wine. Food is good as well.

I had an enjoyable evening here. I was served excellent wines for my flight of 5, with each wine very different from each other, with its own distinct character. I also ordered pork parcels, which coincidentally (or not), came between my first 2 wines (a prosecco and a Pouilly-Fume) and paired very well with both wines. Service was excellent and staff were knowledgeable about their wines too. Definitely a great place for even beginners to learn more about the wines out there.

the food was pretty good. however, service was much better the last time around. despite having very few people in the restaurant, hardly any attention was given. a pity as it is a really nice place to chill out with friends to have decent drinks.

They have a very intensive wine list, drinking experience there is very good but overall the food selection is limited and is a bit pricey.

Great service! I had 5 glasses Flight wine Set, they personnalisé the tasting set based on my preference and each wine complemented the food perfectly. Each pour Comes with interesting sTory about the vineyard and grape variety. Highly recommended for those who want explore & learn more about wine appreciation. Much appreciated, Michelle

Honest, unpretentious place with a good selection of wine. Love the baked Brie and chicken. Gerald the sommelier is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful - I learn something new each time.

Food was nice but slightly overpriced. The place is a little warm maybe cos the door was opened but the staff are friendly and helpful

Very helpful staff - they explained the wines very well and some great choices on the menu for food. We had a Sauvignon Blanc with a crispy thin tart.

Restaurant has nice cozy ambience. Good variety is not large but sufficient. We ordered the salmon and steak main course in addition to calamari. All were tasty but a tad too salty for our liking.

First time in Praelum and had a wonderful time with my wife. Excellent service and great food and wine pairing was awesome! Will go again.

Excellent quality of modern european food with fantastic service throughout the night. The staff have excellent knowledge of wines, recommend to try the flight of 3 or 5 wines

Nice cozy wine place which serve good food & good wines. Gerald the sommelier there was patient in selecting and recommending wines to us based on our preference. His vast knowledge on wines had made the evening not only a wonderful dining experience but also a good learning experience. I would definitely recommend this place to those who want to learn more about wines and taste good wines by the glass at reasonable prices!

Food took abit of time to serve though it wasn't that crowded in the restaurant, but main & side courses was not bad after all.

Ordered an appetizer, two mains, a dessert and two drinks. Our appetizer was served to the table next to ours before the customers commented they didnt order that particular dish. It was then sent to our table. After a long wait, my pork ribs came,without the garlic mash i ordered. Beef cheeks arrived but actually we ordered steak. Our steak order was sent to us a while later.After the mains,we asked for dessert to be served. Thought it was strange to be given a clean set of fork and knife for a creme brulee. I joked that maybe they will serve us the wrong dessert, perhaps key lime pie as that was probably the harder texture dessert that requires knife. True enough,waitress came with key lime pie. We alerted them about the wrong dessert served and they decided to give us the key lime pie complimentary,on top of the creme brulee which will be served. When bill came,credit card for palate dining was given but was not automatically 50% off. We informed the waiter and problem was rectified. I enjoyed the complimentary bread,calamari as well as the recommended drink (i like sweet alcohol). Complimentary dish was a nice way of saving the day but I wish there werent so many cockups.

The service is great. Staff is friendly. However I find the main course price a bit expensive. The next table ordered a pizza and that looks interesting. If I ever go back I will certainly try that.

Delicious food, sumptuous wines and stellar service... Praelum is one of the best options for a memorable night out with friends. And you won't break the bank either!

The food was only OK but the wine that we were recommended was incredible. One of the staff (tall Indian man that night) wasn't very helpful. I tried calling him several times and he only responded when a smaller female waitress came to us. The smaller waitress was also very confused about things when we asked her about the T&Cs for the Entertainer App promotion with Praleum. We only received great service from the Chinese man with dyed blonde hair who had recommended our wine.

Great wines and extremely knowledgable staff. Located in the nice Duxton hill area with a laid back atmosphere. Food is ok, but we go here for the great wines!

Gerald as usual is a great help to select an excellent wine to accompany the delicious meal. The salmon-en-croute is really a must-have. Try also the chocolate cake for dessert.

This was our first visit and it was wonderful experience, thanks to the outstanding service of Gerald. He is thoroughly familiar with the menu items and recommends in great details. We had Salmon-En-Croute and Grilled Chipotle Chicken - delicious. Gerald Lu, National Sommelier Champion 2010, is indeed the main man you’ll want to seek out for recommendations. We had red and wine, absolutely great. Looking forward to coming back.

The staff was very friendly and the food and wine was fanatic. The ambience was great and I love this place. Would recommend to my friends.

great experience in a place full of positive vibe. Besides the service (never seen so many nice staff in the same place), the food was very nice (try the salmon! really unique) and the list of wines never ends. Amazing place, well done guys!

Excellent ambiance and food especially the pork parcels but the service was a bit of a letdown even though the restaurant was not crowded. Worth visiting again.

A superb place if you enjoy wines and well stocked with the best wines and with the best value. This place is full of people that know their wines!

Praelum is a sweet little enclave tucked away in duxton. Great service, superb food. Next time I'll be here to try the wines! : )

I love that the place is easy to locate, with super friendly staff, in an intimate and cosy ambience accompanied by great food and wine, I'd highly recommend it.

Hi, we really enjoyed our time in Praelum, The staff was patient and introduced us several great wines, and the food selection is excellent. We had the pork parcels , baby back ribs and most importantly our favourite was the baked brie. It went very well with our medium bodied red Rioja. We would def go back again! Thanks for showing us a great time!

Good ambience not so crowded and very helpful sommelier. Foods are great too. I totally recommend ppl who want to chill with wine and want to chit chat in here

Food was good and the staff was well versed in the wines. They were of great help in recommending wine pairings with the food. Great service.

Praelum had a wide selection of wine and the selection of food was wide. Service was impeccable and personal. I highly recommend it to anyone, be it a dinner with friends or that special someone.
